Huang's comments provide more detail as to the relationship between Nvidia and Uber, one of its many partners.

Nvidia's shares have fallen by about 9.5 percent since the company said on Tuesday it was temporarily halting its self-driving tests on public roads out of respect for the victim in the March 18 accident involving an Uber self-driving vehicle. An investigation is ongoing.

The chipmaker is continuing tests on closed enclosures, the chief executive said.

Uber suspended self-driving tests in North America after an autonomous vehicle struck and killed a woman crossing a street in Arizona earlier in the month.
